Ms. Deborah Y. Hodo

My name is Ms. Deborah Hodo, I teach reading as well as act as Student Council Advisor. I will be teaching both seventh and eighth grade classes. I started teaching in the Mesa Public School District in 2001. This is my fourteenth year at this location. Previously, I taught seventh grade at Powell Junior High. When I first began teaching in the district, I had a sixth grade class at Whittier (for three years) and MacArthur(for one year). Prior to this, I have had over ten years experience teaching seventh and eighth grade English outside the Mesa district. Just to provide a little background about myself, I am a graduate of Arizona State University. Since I am a parent myself, I realize the special gift each child is. It is my sincere desire to help each child prepare for his or her success in school.
